If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9)
Your must know Jesus is God incarnate and believe God miraculously raised him from the dead in order to embrace the divinely-inspired wisdom found in the Bible. This leap of faith will allow you to find eternal liberty, emboldening you to become an active participant in making America the land of the truly free by spreading the good news of His grace.
May America be blessed with such greatness.

The State Inspired by the Church
The separation of Church and State is a good thing. Everyone’s religious freedom would be threatened if the line between Church and State was blurred forcibly. What one chooses to believe can never be regulated. More importantly, it takes study and constant meditation to interpret the Word of God. Attempting to transform God's wise counsel into law is like trying to stay upright on a dangerous and slippery slope. However, the State can be inspired by the Church which delights in the promise of growing in strength and beauty as it actively seeks ways to spread Love around the world.
"God is love. Therefore love. Without distinction, without calculation, without procrastination, love." (Henry Drummond)

Honor Your Countrymen
Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. (Romans 12:10)
There are Americans who are hungry, homeless, and literally on the brink of death both physically and emotionally. Many of us walk by them every day, failing to realize they are our concern. This nation values the hard worker who hustles to pull herself up by her bootstrap. These success stories are wonderful to see. Yet, this does not mean those less fortunate or ingenious must be denied a helping hand. It is time for us to show our loving devotion to one another. We honor another when we give up things of great value in order to meet a neighbor’s needs. It could be money, one of our homes or cars, knowledge, time, a caring ear, or even our professional connections. This nation will become even more powerful when its citizens are committed to having everyone live the American dream, no matter the cost. Radical acts of kindness toward each other will without question lead to radical blessings from God. And He is more generous than any of us could dream.

Make it a Family Affair
"Men chained together are brothers." (Roots)
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines family as “a group of people united by certain convictions”. A majority of us take pride in putting our hand to our hearts and proclaiming our loyalty to the UNITED States of America. We accept the shared responsibility of fighting to maintain the integrity of this nation, fully convinced our republic is worth protecting. That would make us family, inextricably linked as brothers in arms. No one in her right mind would stand by watching loved ones starve, be molested, wallow in ignorance, be unjustly hated, wither in the midst of plenty, be slaughtered one by one… The list of horrific crimes against humanity is obscenely long but you get the point.
Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. (1 John 2:9 NIV)
A true patriot would not condemn America to darkness. The first step is to seek The Lord by reading his Word. Emulate his tender compassion for all of humankind. See our extended family, with new eyes, to your left and your right. May the glorious revolution arising out of this radical change of attitude be televised.

Lack Nothing
The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. (Psalm 23:1)
The Lord could be the king that guides our leaders to help us walk a path of integrity so that our children can have a bright future. We truly would lack nothing if we could leave them a legacy of peace, justice, prosperity, health, wisdom, and joy. We will not be spared difficulty or bad times. The Lord still requires us to meditate on his Word day and night. It is the only way He can shepherd us toward victory. We can see America shining from sea to sea.

Be United
..."The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them! (Genesis 11:6)
This nation seems be The United States of America in name only. The rich diversity found in this country should be our strength not our downfall. A melting pot is exactly what we need. Everyone can throw in an opinion, a unique point of view, or an ingenious idea about how to better conduct the affairs of this country. We can agree to disagree and still make sure our words convey a willingness to maintain an environment of mutual respect. Then, we would be using a common language which is understood by and pleasant to all. Nothing is impossible when a united, motivated, and imaginative group of people work together to grow a nation.

Pray Before Voting (VIDEO INCLUDED)
Only God knows who is the best candidate for the job of POTUS. Seek His guidance before voting.
Both candidates are flawed just like everyone else.
How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults. (Psalm 19:12)
Which candidate exhibits the greatest capacity to grow and to take this nation along for that magnificent ride? Fellow voters choose in good conscience. Think outside the box and consider who can balance the needs of every American. The best leader will inspire each one of us to give up something so that, in the end, everyone wins. It will be possible but not easy.
